Yes. The sequence where Shane the king is bored, Kimberly the queen is bored, etc. & many jesters had tried to entertain them & then Kimberly says that they can't be happy until Princess Eve is returned home. So, they're not bored, it's that they're worried, etc. & dressed as a jester Calliope does some bits, pretty corny, and then says she will save the Princess. Supposedly that is the scene that inspired the creator. Key element: female jester. Then, he heard her voice as the voice so that got the next gig underway. 

Is it at all compelling that this other voice actor announced her death?

Arleen's Calliope was larger than life. For an awkward teen navigating all the crap we go through, seeing a character living an eccentric life right along with all the "normal" characters was great.

From her hijinks with Eugene, capers with Anna (she and Leann Hunley gave such great "bestie" energy), to the Beat Bar with "Norm De Plume" A. K. A. Dr. Tom Horton, she fit in with anyone. That's what I did when I found my friend/family that I'm still hanging with 30 years later.

Calliope was just a small piece of inspiration I've gleaned over the years, and I will always love Sorkin for the gift her portrayal gave to me.

Same as it ever was. 

I do think social media helps with this a little bit, getting more knowledge out, but I thought of this comment thread when I saw her Deadline obit that went into great detail about her other work then reduced her time on DAYS to one sentence.

    • Any fan of RuPaul would dispute calling any of these examples “drag”. A costume?, A disguise?, A lame attempt at humor? -- yes -- Drag? -- nope
    • No asterisk. I meant that the circumstances during the first year were in her favor.
    • Maybe I am misunderstanding you? Are you suggesting that her success at GL should have an asterisk next to it because she was smart enough to exploit a weakness in the marketplace to gain ratings?  Note: Try not to take this personally—I’m not accusing anyone of being consciously misogynistic. I’m simply proposing that the origins of certain ideas about Ms. Phelps—such as claims that she was unprepared or a poor manager of her writing staff—may be rooted in misogyny. Perhaps, with the benefit of hindsight, it's worth reconsidering those opinions. At the very least, imagine being one of the few women in the room while a male network executive tries to decide what women want to watch during the day. That context has certainly led me to reassess many of my own long-held views.
    • Through 78 and 79 under Marland and Pat Falken smith GH was still heavily hospital based with a mix of storylines. The Doctors would have been fine had they followed that template. Once GH went with Ice Princess all bets were off.Who knows how much TD would have copied that direction? And OLTL, DOOL went in that direction quite heavily while other shows dabbled in far out stories. The thing is that TD was well set up for an expansion.

    • Aaron Spelling still had clout with ABC in Fall 1984, as I think they knew he was going to pull out all the stops for Dynasty to get to #1, which he did. That's probably why ABC kept Hotel as Dynasty lead out. Fall 1985 with the sale to Capital Cities and Brandon Stoddard arrival, Aaron Spelling would lose his clout with ABC.
    • Correction, July 1991 to May 1995. JFP got the ratings up during her first year, but it also helped that ABC big three were tanking at various times during that year and Days was in their post-supercouple/pre-Reilly mess era. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during the Calhoun/Long/Curlee era did not reflect the quality of the show.

    • Perhaps. But would anyone have wanted The Doctors to turn into what General Hospital ultimately became?  Dear God in Heaven...
    • Thanks @EricMontreal22 that must be one of the last issues. Probably the best soap magazine.
